Shot Caddy is a training log for target sports, built on one idea: the less effort it takes to record a session, the more sessions you'll actually record — and the more you record, the more your own data can tell you. Most range notebooks die the same way. You fill in a few pages, skip a session, and never open it again. Shot Caddy is designed to survive that. Logging takes seconds, the app carries forward what it already knows, and the analysis happens whether or not you feel like doing arithmetic at the bench. MINIMUM ENTRY, MAXIMUM ANALYSIS Every screen is built to reduce typing. Shot Caddy remembers your equipment, your loads, your usual distances and your typical sessions, then offers them back instead of asking you to enter them again. What you supply is the part only you know: what actually happened downrange. ONE LOG FOR EVERY DISCIPLINE Rifle, pistol, shotgun, air. Shot Caddy keeps them together instead of scattering your history across a notebook, a scoring app and a camera roll full of targets. Move between disciplines without moving between apps, and see your whole practice history on a single timeline. SEE WHAT IS ACTUALLY CHANGING One good group tells you almost nothing. A hundred logged sessions tell you a great deal. Shot Caddy turns your entries into trends: how your groups are tightening, which distances you have quietly stopped practicing, whether that new load is genuinely better or simply had a good afternoon. These are the patterns that stay invisible in a paper log. DATA WORTH TRUSTING Analysis is only ever as good as what goes into it. Shot Caddy helps you keep the log clean while you build it, catching gaps, flagging entries that look out of place and prompting you for the details that make everything else more useful. The habits are built into the workflow, so you are never cleaning up a year of sloppy records after the fact. WHAT YOU CAN TRACK - Sessions by date, location and conditions - Equipment, optics and the exact setup you used - Ammunition and load details - Distance, target and shot count - Group size and scoring - Notes on what you were working on that day QUESTIONS IT HELPS YOU ANSWER - Is my group size actually trending down this season, or does it just feel that way? - Did that change to my setup do anything measurable, or did I imagine the difference? - Which distances and positions have I quietly stopped practicing? - Is this load genuinely better, or did it get lucky over a small number of rounds? - How does this month compare to the same month last year? BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO PRACTICE ON PURPOSE Competitive shooters measuring progress against a scorecard. Handloaders working up a load who want evidence rather than impressions. Hunters confirming a setup before the season opens. Coaches following a student across months instead of sessions. And anyone who has ever packed up at the end of a range day thinking "I think that was better" with no way to prove it. FROM YOUR FIRST SESSION You do not need a year of history for this to be worth doing. The first session gives you a baseline, and every one after it sharpens the picture. There is no backlog to import and no setup ritual to get through — enter what you did today, and the app starts working immediately. Log the next ten sessions and you will already be seeing things you could not see before. WHY IT EXISTS There is a strange gap in this sport between how carefully we choose our equipment and how casually we record what it does. We will spend an entire season chasing a tighter group and keep the evidence on the back of a target and in memory. Shot Caddy closes that gap with the smallest amount of work it could possibly ask of you. Start with your next session. Log it in under a minute and let the picture build itself.
